What do you think about his stat? I think the games he focused on being a blue collar rim runner he did amazing. I don’t think this is only the Spurs fault or lack of point guard, he is enamoured of playing like a wing, which to me is the origin of most of his inefficiencies on offense.

    While i do think this is true, i think Victor, very similarly to Embiid in the past, likes playing in the perimeter more and taking those jumpers, which compounds the problem even more. Even in France, where he was the MVP of the whole league and averaged 22 and 10, he was constantly in the perimeter and a third of his shots were 3s, that’s just how he likes to play.

    The physical limitations are there and the PG play is abysmal, but there needs to be a slight shift in his mentality aswell, he is going way too much into the weakest area of his game out of preference, something that really hurts his efficiency.

      They’re trying to make him durant. Which is fine. But he’s just not there yet. He’ll get there eventually tho.

      They also don’t find him in good positions for that as well.

      Just overall bad offense.

      Last game they set him up like dirk and he hit turnaround jumpers over the defender like they weren’t even there.

      We only ran that play twice. It was criminal. But we are trying to lose so there’s that
